I was just wondering if any one know the weight of a JOHN DEERE 450 B?
My dad is looking into buying one, I dont have a pic of the one he is thinking about getting yet, but i am going to go by there this week and take some pics of it and the trailer.
Im just wondering if my hitch can handle pulling a tractor that size? Its a shelton class five.
*****here is a pic of one that i got off of ebay for now till i get pics of the actual one he is looking at getting......
That's a fairly heavy machine, looking at it I'd say at least 10K and maybe quite a bit more.
Ok, I had a whole reply typed up and then re-read your post and had to delete it all.
Absolutely DO NOT try and drag that anywhere on a bumper pull trailer. People may tell you that "It'll be ok" and all of that, and I suppose you *might* make it wherever you are going without killing anyone, but it is still a bad idea.
That machine will outweigh your truck by at least 2000 lbs and that is far too much weight to hang off of the back of a pickup truck. Either get a good heavy gooseneck trailer or get a bigger truck with a pintle hitch trailer meant to carry that kind of weight.

With the hoe on there, you are going to be easily at 18k plus the trailer.

Take it from someone that has been working on heavy equipment since 94. If you are buying this to piddle with and you can work on it yourself then it will be fine. But if you plan to make a living with this equipment or will have to pay someone to do it for you it will cost you atleast 60hr plus mileage and service call fees. Thats if you can find someone to do it. There is a real shortage of heavy equipment mechanics. JJ
